I started this summer expecting it to be a drag. My days were filled with an expectancy of nothing. I made great plans for the Fall...new bible study, new topics, new major, new classes, woo hoo for new things! but summer time.....not so thrilling. My life went from crazy busy and productive to a total abscence of social life. awkward kinda! As I searched for other things to do with my time I thought "Hey, what better things to do with my time than go to church? duh!" So i go to this church that i had been visiting for about 6 months and my life changed after i got there. I always said this church was "A Place Where I Could Find God"...and sure enough i found him. 
The pastors are awesome and so personal. so refreshing to me! One particular Sunday one of the Pastors spoke to the congregation about making a difference with the resources already available to us and I went home thinking "i can't stand it anymore, i just can't stand it i've gotta do something." which war really awkward bc i didn't have much readily available to give. I chose to make a difference that afternoon and something inside of me had a spark. Kinda like a little spark to start a fire deep in the pit of the core of my body. I started going to church at least twice a week. This only increased to being at church for long periods of time..sometimes 6 days a wk, sometimes 4, sometimes, 3. Being in the Lord's prescence has kindled a full fire in my core. Life isn't the same to say the least. I've met some of the most sincere people i've ever known and there genuiness has truly change my attitude. I love hanging out with these people who are as crazy about the Lord Jesus as I am. I always have somewhere to go, somewhere comfy to sleep, something good to eat when i'm a little homesick, and somebody sweet to hang out with when i'm lonely. Dare i say i have truly found the body of Christ? Oh my, i think it has finally happened. 
Christians are actually being the hands and feet of Christ. woo hoo!The love and acceptance i've found is undescribable. My whole summer is different from how i expected it! i anticipated nothing and got a whole new church family, an aligned spine, and a healthy heart in return. Jesus Rocks!
